AnswerHi Felicia,
Your's is a good question. It is not an easy question to answer, but as you stated there are so many church that have difference beliefs and practices. I many years ago, after investigationg the matter, chose to attend an Independent Fundamental Baptist Church. I have a Internet article that explains what and IFB should be. Sadly, there are even differences in these church, but as a whole they are the most biblical churches you can attend. The article is at http://bible-truth.org/BaptistHistory.html .

Ask them:
What kind of services to you have: The correct answer would be "traditional" as opposed to "contemporary."
Music. Hymns and Christian music, not modern contemporary.
Version of the Bible. King James Version.
What services to they have? They should have Sunday morning, evening, and a Bible study during the week.

If there several in your area, visit them till you find one that is friendly, and have uplifting biblical worship and teaching.

I hope this helps. If you have further question please. If I can help answers question you may have please write. cpabrams3@gmail.com
I pray that the Lord will direct you to a good sound biblical church.

Expertise

Independent Fundamental Baptist missionary and pastor, ThB, MBS, and PhD as of May 28, 2013. I began pastoring in 1981, and have taught in churches, a Bible college, and a Bible Institute. I have written numerous articles on various subjects from a biblical perspective and many are posted on my web site Bible Truth ( http://www.bible-truth.org ). Bible Truth receives over one hundred and forty thousand visiters per month. Since 1998 I have answered Bible related questions via e-mail. My answers are straight forward and biblical.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE -----DO NOT ASK A QUESTION AND THEN NOT READ THE ANSWER! ABOUT FOUR IN TEN QUESTIONS ASKED ARE NEVER READ. I FREELY GIVE MY TIME TO GIVE HELPFUL ANSWERS. OFTEN THE ANSWER WILL REQUIRE AS MUCH AS A HOUR OR MORE TO RESEARCH AND THEN TO FORMULATE THE REPLY. IF YOU SEND A QUESTION PLEASE BE THOUGHTFUL ENOUGH TAKE THE TIME TO READ IT. MOST PEOPLE DO...BUT ALL SHOULD. THANKS
